I asked this on a thread considering make up for a 5 year old but thought I should post my own thread.

I like tattooed men and find tattoos on men and women very sexy and a turn on. But I dont make any conection towards sexualising kids if I see fake tattoos on them.

I hate bikinis and bras for girls, but would allow my dd to dress up at home not with her own but Im pretty sure she has put on my bra for a laugh.

I allow my dd aged 5 to have make up at home and paint it all over her self, I may put on a clear lip gloss for a party if she asked but I wouldnt suggest it to her, although I wouldnt ever make her up in obviouse make up to leave the house.

My dd likes "boys" things and "girls" things in sence of clothes, toys and activities, some people describe her as tom boy but I dont like that term personaly I dont even like to gender categorise her prefferences in terms of toys games activities etc.

I have read alot about sexualising children with make up clothes on MN but I have never read anyone express a view on fake tattoos, just wondered what people though of them on children?

My two DSs are always tattooed. They love them. They are fun. That is all.

DH's auntie gave us some and told me to use 'a bit of white spirit or something' to get them off. Now I was a bit Shock at that.

Interesting as my DS has just got into dinosaur ones during the school hols. They last 5 mins wash off easily and he has fun.

They do look common and messy too though but hey ho he's not hurting anyone.

white spirit [shocked] baby oil or olive oil will remove them.
